Truly a great photo... However, the GW didn't have an engine house in Longmont, all of the locomotives were based out of Loveland. But, that's not to say they didn't overnight an engine in Longmont during beet campaigns, say a really early morning start... Just a thought. Today they have a majority of the locomotives in Loveland, but some stay in Windsor and travel deadhead to Loveland for inspections/ maintenance.

Thanks again,
Cody Muse
